Ania Paterak Permanent Makeup & Training Academy

The longer I’ve been in PMU, the more I’ve realised that some things matter far more than trends.

A good consultation, honest advice, and building trust with my clients will always be at the top of the list.

Natural, balanced results never go out of style ✨

Swipe through for 3 things that matter more than trends in PMU.

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT RESTORING A HAIRLINE

This before-and-after image shows one of the most overlooked benefits of Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): creating the appearance of density.

SMP isn’t only for clients with advanced hair loss or those wanting a sharper hairline. It can also:

✔️ Reduce the contrast between the scalp and thinning hair
✔️ Create the illusion of fuller, denser hair
✔️ Enhance the results of a hair transplant by adding visual density
✔️ Provide a confidence boost when you’re not ready for a hair transplant or shave your hair
✔️ Help camouflage areas where hair remains thin after a transplant

In this transformation, the hairline remains natural, while the scalp appears significantly darker and fuller due to the strategic placement of pigment, giving the appearance of increased hair density.

Whether you’re experiencing early-stage thinning, waiting to undergo a hair transplant, or looking to maximise your transplant results, SMP can be a highly effective solution.

Natural. Non-surgical. Immediate results.

When a stunner like this walks through the door, I’m literally itching to get my .colors lip pigments out! 😍💋

One thing I always explain to my clients: colours in the bottle can look completely different once they’re healed in the skin. Understanding colour theory and choosing shades that complement your skin tone is the key to achieving beautiful, natural-looking results.

Lip blush has become incredibly popular, and for good reason 🤍 But it’s not as simple as choosing “pink” or “nude”—the wrong colour choice can create the opposite effect of what you’re hoping for.

My gorgeous client chose a brows & lips combo, and we couldn’t be happier with the results ✨ She left feeling confident, refreshed, and absolutely glowing.

And somehow… we even managed to keep that beautiful white dress spotless! 🤍😍

Who knew eyebrows can do this much 😍

One combo brow appointment and suddenly her whole face said “new season, new me” ✨

Honestly brows are dangerous… you come for little hairs and leave looking fresher, younger and taking 100 selfies after 🤣

I’ve had so many of you asking me about my glow lately… and I love that you notice 🤍

You guys know I don’t really wear makeup (maybe mascara sometimes), so what you see is my skin completely natural. And honestly, there’s no one magic product — it’s my whole lifestyle.

I train regularly, I move my body, I walk my dog every day.
I drink collagen morning and evening, I stay on top of my skin with laser a few times a year, and I really try to manage stress (still working on that 😅).
Lately, I’ve also been super focused on protecting my energy and surrounding myself with only good vibes ✨

But I also want to be real — I’m not someone who just jumps into promoting anything. I have to fully believe in it. And that’s exactly why I started working with Simon Ourian.

I actually feel so privileged to be part of his team. He’s one of the world’s most well-known skin aestheticians, and his brand is honestly taking the world by storm right now — and I can completely see why.

It just makes sense for me. It aligns so well with my clinic, my approach to beauty, and everything I believe in when it comes to wellness and wellbeing. It’s not just about skincare — it’s the whole picture, inside and out.

The products have genuinely boosted my confidence, and I actually love using them, which makes sharing them feel natural, not forced. And on top of that, the business side and the community of women… it’s given me a level of motivation, support, and reward I honestly haven’t felt before 🤍

Also, while I’m going through some changes in my personal life, this has been something really positive and grounding for me.

So you’ll definitely be seeing more of Simon Ourian on here because it just fits into my life so naturally.

And if you’ve been wondering why my skin is glowing… that’s part of it 💫
If you’re curious or you’re in the beauty industry and want to know more, just DM me — happy to share 🫶

Male Eyebrow Reconstruction 👁️‍🗨️

This is a highly specialised skill — and one I’m truly passionate about.

As a specialist in male eyebrow reconstruction & conference speaker on the subject, I’ve dedicated years to perfecting the technique for men— because male and female brows are not the same.

Here’s what sets them apart 👇

🔹 Male vs Female Brows
• Flatter shape
• Less defined edges
• More texture & density
• Designed to enhance masculine features — not soften them

🔹 Pre-Drawing Matters
• Completely different mapping approach
• No over-arching or sharp shaping
• Subtle, natural structure is key
•No outline, we predraw the hairstrokes by hand

🔹 Technique is Everything
• Hair strokes must mimic natural male growth
• Slightly irregular & softer patterns
• Less uniform = more realistic

🚫 One of the biggest mistakes I see:
Artists using the same techniques as female brows on male clients

This leads to:
• Overly clean
• Too polished
• Feminised results
• High arches

✔ The goal for male brows:
• Enhance, not reshape
• Keep it masculine
• Create a natural, lived-in finish

👉 Natural will always beat “perfect”

If you’re an artist struggling with male brows or want to elevate your skills — message me, I’m always happy to help and share knowledge.

does anybody need their pmu done? 🤎

As I promised last week, Grażynka’s transformation is now complete — with her beautiful new eyebrows and her fully healed scalp micropigmentation.

Some transformations are more than just aesthetic — they are deeply emotional.

Today we saw Grażynka’s journey come full circle. Her scalp micropigmentation has now fully healed, and with her beautiful new brows, the transformation is complete.

When I look at these photos, I don’t just see a cosmetic change — I see confidence, light, and a woman rediscovering her glow.

The room was filled with emotion. Grażynka, her wonderful friend Sue (who is also my lovely client), and I all had tears in our eyes. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do so much.

At the end she called me “dobra wróżka Ania” — which means “good fairy Ania.”
But honestly, it was Grażynka who looked like a fairy today, glowing with confidence and happiness.

Helping someone feel like themselves again is truly priceless.

Grażynka, you are absolutely beautiful — and now the world can see the confidence and radiance that was always there.

I am so grateful to be part of your journey. 🤍
